GatherNYC: Majel Connery + Felix Fan – Rivers are our Brothers
$30
- Majel Connery, voice
- Felix Fan, electric cello
The Rivers are our Brothers is an electronic song cycle on ecological responsibility, told from the point of view of the land. Based on a letter from Chief Seattle that urges us to think of the earth as kin, the songs take a first-person view of nature: rocks sing about their mothers, and snowflakes tell about their hearts of sand. Connery's vocals and Felix Fan's electric cello combine to tell the story using a "supernatural" sound. "The goal of this music is to give nature a voice" says Connery, "and this isn't a cute nature documentary. I want to stop people in their tracks and show them the world like they've never seen it: as vibrant, and thrilling, and alive."
